Comment from angel on a dark path
I understand the concept you are going for here, but this image isn't quite on the mark because their is no definition between the foreground, background and the plow. Lighting is a bit harsh too.

Ok, you've got a great point of interest here but, it's getting cluttered amidst the foreground and background. Hard to see what it is! Try using a larger aperature setting to fuzzy out the background and bring out the object of intrigue.
Squaring in a little closer to the subject would also be helpful as the foreground does nothing to bring one's interest into the photograph.
Colors and composition are very nice though. Good work!

I like the picture but sometimes 'old crap' becomes a mess with the background as it has no defining colors or stand out features, but overall a creative picture.

Comment from Casteel
This image has a bit to much light on it making the detail fade out quite a bit.. the framing could have been pulled out to the right a bit more.. I think the subject is interesting though very origional... :)

This came out great. Clear, focused, bright, attention getter, nice subject, everything! Keep them coming. Your eye for the old and abandon is great for people ( like me) who really appreciate the simpler times and history.

One man's junk is another man's treasure. The image is a bit overexposed which distracts slightly. But the storytelling ability of this one is superb!

Comment from Clyde B.
I can't go the 5 on this one Low, it just doesn't have the pizazz as your others. I think the subject matter is cool, but the lighting seems to be a bit harsh. Nine job!!!!

I know time is very valuable to you, and you can't get out whenever you want to. But I really want to see your pictures without the high sun! You are capturing some amazing shots, but they lose a little bit because they tend to be flat and washed out. There is a market for these kind of subjects, and, with this site as an example, not a lot of people shoot these kind of subjects. You really have a great eye for it. I think this one would have worked a little better with a longer zoom, shot from a little further away (maybe, I could be wrong. I have a lot of pictures in shoeboxes or my recycle bin that tell me I am quite often!) The bushes (aspen maybe, hard to tell in these uploads) have a very bright, saturated green to them. And then the far background at the top gets a little distracting. With a longer zoom, you might have been able to get a DOF that would have blurred that a little bit more, and given a lot more detail and attention to the bushes right behind the wagon. You might have even been able to crop this one a bit more all around, and still had the wagon sitting in the frame well, and taken out some of the distractions. This is another one that would have been fun to see from other angles, angles that are not the normal ones, to get a unique view. Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much shiver, you are always most helpful!!!!!!!! I run your advice through my head along with a couple other reviewer when I go shootin'. I think my biggest hold up is not giving each frame I take the time it deserves! Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!1

Comment from rjblundo
Great picture, I like the way you always capture the past. The only thing I see wrong, is the wagon seems a little out of focus. I still like it though. Great job..........
